Make a World of Difference. The Heifer Project is a yearly endeavor at Nativity Parish. If you are looking to make a real difference for a needy family this Lent, here’s a great starting point. Cut back on family spending and save up enough to buy a goat, chickens, or even a cow for villagers in a developing country. Fifth graders from our parish Faith Formation are heading up this Lenten project. (heifer.org)

The Nativity Knights of Columbus Council is again teaming up with First Choice Clinic to raise funds in support of the clinic’s parenting education programs. The Baby Bottle campaign is under way! Families are asked to stop by the Fireside Room to pick up one or more baby bottles to fill with your extra change. The bottles will be available in a basket on the ledge. Families can take a bottle home for one month, filling it with change until the next parish breakfast on March 18 where the filled bottles will be collected. All proceeds will support the First Choice Clinic. For more information, contact the council’s Pro-Life Couple, Mike & Casinda Langseth at (701) 388-2835. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of the unborn.
